Featured Case Study
CONTINENTAL TIRE – PORTFOLIO EVALUATION
To properly evaluate the holistic success of Continental Tire’s partnerships with the MLS and College Basketball, rEvolution’s consulting team built a framework that would assess current performance and future portfolios, factoring in evolving business needs, investments and equity as well as opportunities in the sponsorship landscape.
With a strong understanding of its partnership terms and ongoing measurement, additional methodologies were deployed to objectively score each sponsorship.
- White Space Analysis: This analysis aggregated competitive and platform snapshots to establish a benchmark for evaluation.
- Return on Objectives: This model enabled the team to analyze activities in a standardized way and make data-informed decisions around both partnerships.
- Portfolio Assessment: Utilizing multiple methodologies to garner a singular score, this assessment factored in platform and audience results within a custom evaluation criterion.
Results from this extensive evaluation are being used to shape Continental Tire’s sponsorship strategy in both short-term execution and long-term planning.
